Livingston announce six players set to depart club

Livingston have announced six players will be leaving the club when their contracts expire next month.

That list is headlined by skipper Nicky Devlin while defender Jack Fitzwater and midfielder Stephane Omeonga were both fixtures of the side this term.

Jackson Longridge will also leave having found game time limited this season and ending the campaign on loan at Cove Rangers while young Irishman Jaze Kabia departs. So too does 21-year-old American keeper Brian Schwake, who is understood to have turned down a new deal.

NICKY DEVLIN

The 29-year-old joined from Walsall in 2019 and barring a knee injury in his first season which kept him out for five months, he was a near ever present.

Appointed captain in 2021, he leaves having played 148 games, ranking third in the club’s list of top flight appearances with 122.

The 25-year-old leaves after three seasons, having signed from West Bromwich Albion. More of a squad player in his first campaign, he became integral after that and played all 38 Premiership games last season.

Played 107 times, scoring seven goals including a brace on David Martindale's managerial debut - a 4-0 League Cup win over Ayr United in November 2020.

JAZE KABIA

Started just two of his 13 games with one goal.

JACKSON LONGRIDGE

Returned in January 2021 and found game time limited – making
